benzoin - about 0.5 teaspoon (Note: do not add this again, though it smells great, doesn't emulsify well)
beeswax - about 1 inch square (Note: next time use the granules, not the block, and measure)
shea butter - about 1/3 cup (Note: can decrease for next time, as B.B.B below already has a lot of shea)
camellia oil + abyssinian mix (about 60/40) (about 1/4 cup)
0.5 ml calendula tincture in olive oil
cassia 5 drops (Note: next time use dropper and decrease to 2 drops)
cocoa butter - 1 nugget
emu oil about 1 T?
Jojoba oil - about 1 T
german chamomile - 4 drops
neroli 3% in jojoba - 3 -5-10 drops (unsure, would sniff and add as it seemed best)
lemongrass - maybe 2-3 drops (?)
champaka 5 drops (Note: next time use dropper, and keep it to 2 drops max)
body butter base - 1 Tablespoon scoop (Note: Body butter base already contains shea butter and has a good consistency)
pluses: subtle and pleasant scent, no irritation in scalp, skin, and hair looks shiny but not greasy, and feels soft - absorbed beautifully -
minuses: benzoin though it was great, did not mix well with the bbb and had settling that had to be removed, need to measure for accuracy, need to use disposable lab droppers,
individual items add up to too much cost: ought to simplify/reduce ingredients for cost-effectiveness.
